A review by paulataua
'Twixt Land and Sea by Joseph Conrad

4.0

Three Conrad novellas, two of which, ‘A Smile of Fortune’ and ‘Freya of the Seven Seas’ consider the consequences of self deception, and the third being the ‘The Secret Sharer’, which is definitely one of my favorite short stories of all time. It was great to get back to Conrad and his world where a calm sea is not just a calm sea, and where when someone looks like you, it is not just a case of physical resemblance. It was so good to read this again.
